[edit] Overview

Tarantallegra is a jinx that causes uncontrollable "dancing".

[edit] Extended Description

Beginner warning: Details follow which you may not wish to read at your current level.

Tarantallegra, the Dancing jinx, apparently causes uncontrollable jerking and twitching in the legs of the person against whom it is cast. It can apparently can be stopped by the Finite Incantatem charm. We first see this spell when it is cast against Harry by Malfoy in the Dueling Club.

It was later used in the Battle at the Ministry of Magic in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; the intent in that case was to prevent Neville from escaping.
